One day, the royal family announced a decree for a ball to be held in order to find a perfect bride for the prince. Cinderella heard this announcement and heard thet everybody was invited. And so, she ran to her house and told the announcement to her step-family. After that, her step-mother decided that she and her two daughters would come to the ball. However, when Cinderella asked her if she could go with them or not, her step-mother was angry. She then punished Cinderella and told her to do the chores. Cinderella cried.

While she did her chores, an old lady came and asked for food and water. She pitied her and gave her what she wanted. After that, that old lady turned into a beautiful fairy. She knew Cinderella's desire and decided to repay her kindness. She turned a pumpikin into a carriage, a mice into a horse, a rat into a coachman, and Cinderella's dirty clothes into a princess dress. By doing so, her repayment was furfilled. However, the fairy said that the magic would go to an end after 12 o'clock bell rang. She then said "thank you" to her fairy godmother and rushed to the ball. She was very excited.
